TROY, Mich., Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Editorial Advisory and Securities Review Committee of BetterInvesting Magazine today announced Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK) as its "Stock to Study" and Ball Corp (NYSE: BALL) as its "Undervalued Stock" in the January 2025 issue for investors' informational and educational use.

The organization remains concerned about the number of Americans who are investing for the future. "Too many Americans hesitate to invest, waiting for what they believe is the perfect moment, such as after the election, or for other reasons, missing out on the benefits of compounding. With Halloween less than a week away, it's a reminder that those who take part, reap the rewards," said Ken Zendel, CEO of the National Association of Investors (NAIC), the parent organization of BetterInvesting.

To help investors get started, the National Association of Investors has launched a free eLearning course entitled Stock Investing Basics available for anyone who desires to learn at https://www.betterinvesting.org/learn-about-investing/elearning-courses
